Severe Duty Series 2 Open Front Brush Cutter – by Blue Diamond

Blue Diamond® Severe Duty Series 2 Brush Cutter

Overview

The Blue Diamond® Severe Duty Series 2 Brush Cutter is built for operators who demand maximum durability and cutting power. Designed to clear grass, brush, and trees up to 10″ in diameter, this 72″ cutter combines a massive 1″-thick serrated blade carrier with four double-sided blades and high-torque piston motor options (150cc, 200cc, or 250cc) to match your skid steer’s hydraulic flow.

The Series 2 takes everything great about the original Severe Duty Open‑Front Brush Cutter and refines it — offering better debris control, consistent piston motor performance across all sizes, and improved operator access.

Key Features

• Heavy-duty cutting power: Four double-sided blades mounted on a 1″ serrated blade carrier weighing over 500 lbs.
• Three motor options: 150cc (16–26 GPM), 200cc (27–35 GPM), and 250cc (35–45 GPM) high-torque piston motors.
• Improved debris management: Added top-deck covers help keep debris off the deck and away from key components.
• Pressure gauge: Easily visible from the cab to monitor workload and avoid overload.
• Bolt-on skid shoes: Adjustable cutting height to match terrain and vegetation density.
• 10″ cutting capacity: Handles heavy brush and large saplings with ease.

Series 2 vs. Original Severe Duty Open‑Front

• Motor Consistency: Series 2 uses piston motors across all flow ranges, tuned for maximum torque and smoother performance. The Open‑Front offered multiple motor types depending on the model.
• Debris Control: Series 2 features enhanced top-deck covers to reduce debris buildup; the Open‑Front design is more exposed for aggressive forward cutting.
• Simplified Options: Series 2 comes in three clear motor sizes (150cc / 200cc / 250cc) — all with identical cutting width and weight — making selection easier.
• Operator Access: Improved deck layout makes entry and maintenance more convenient compared to the Open‑Front’s forward-exposed blade design.
